I am just finishing watching a BBC2 programme on Miriam Margoyles.
Such a brilliant actor of course .... but the rest if it? What do people think?

I wonder how many people today know about Violet Elizabeth Bott, just curious.
“ I’ll scream and scream until I’m sick” iPad won’t let me lisp!!😗

Just William hasn’t been banned by the woke police yet.
DGS thought it was funny when he was younger. A frequent question was “Did you really . . . in those days?”

Her foul language stops me listening to her, “ I need a piss”, why not lavatory or loo

I know what you mean. She could say she needed to go to the toilet! How hard is it? My step daughter always says she needs a piss and I makes my blood boil.

I think the fact that an old woman causes so much discussion is great. Like her or
not, at least she’s not invisible (far from it.) I wouldn’t fart on national TV though!

It pays her to fart on national tv

I’m sure she’d never say toilet. It’s one of those genteel words that marks the user as lower middle class.

I don’t quite know how I feel about her. Part of me admires her cleverness and honesty, part of me recoils.
